Mark Safranski (ZenPundit) has a major post on the resiliency of networks and how it can be both a good and bad thing. Partisan political networks, for example, need to be less resilient if they are going to be open to outside information. The resiliency of networks can work for godd when we can form connections across typical (party, in the example) lines. Mark closes his post with Tom's mantra 'Disconnectedness defines danger'.

Steve DeAngelis picks up on Marks post with his Network Resiliency -- Good or Bad?. Steve's not as 'sanguine' as Mark. But he's in the business of making connections and wants to find the 'straddlers' and support them.
